I am a professor of urban
informatics (pending official royal appointment for full professorship),
director of City Context Lab, and head of the Department
of Computer Engineering, Faculty of
Engineering, at Chiang Mai University,
Thailand. My research focusses on Urban Informatics,
where I analyze large-scale digital
footprints, such as mobile network data, GPS traces, social media data, and other sensory data to better understand urban
dynamics and how city functions across various contexts, such transportation
and social interaction. I’m originally from Chiang Mai, Thailand. I received my B.S.(hons) and M.S. both in Electrical Engineering in 2003 and 2005 respectively from the Southern Methodist University, Dallas, Texas, USA. I received a Ph.D. in Computer Science & Engineering from the University of North Texas, Denton, Texas, USA in 2009. I then joined the SENSEable City Laboratory at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) as a postdoctoral researcher until January 2011 and continue my association with the Lab as a research affiliate since. In 2011, I went to the United Kingdom (UK) and joined the Digital Interaction group at the Culture Lab (now Open Lab), Newcastle University as a research associate. Before coming to Chiang Mai University in June 2014, I was a Lecturer in Computing (assistant professor) at the Computing and Communications Department at The Open University, Milton Keynes, UK (October 2012 - July 2014).
